This graphical issue isn't new. I believe it's something related to the individual player's DirectX not being up to date or something like that.

[JustSumBody]

To clear this up, the graphical issue isn't the problem. The issue is that the AI has full camera vision over it when there aren't any cameras in it. This was when it was docked at the trader outpost, not sure if that's because of the previous issue with the vox hydro camera or what. I recall seeing it disabled at one point even but he still seemed to be able to see.

[Shadowmech88]

Wait, so that AI player is actually playing the game like that?
How terrible.

[Exxion]

Yes, it's almost as disgusting as the title is uninformative

[clusterfack]

Absolutely disgusting

[coldcola]

muh powergame

Fucking hell man install DirectX with wine tricks already!

[Probe1]

holy shit that screen

[Exxion]

Alright
As disgusting as the screenshot is, it's about time to talk about/fix the actual issue

[Probe1]

Yeah I'm gonna look at it.

[Intigracy]

Tfw even admins are powergamers.

As an aside that graphical glitch usually indicates that byond failed to intiate hardware mode for rendering and so rendering modes like blend and planemasters do not work.

Most commonly seen in VM's or wine users

[PJB3005]

Nope, HW mode initialized but shaders are failing to run correctly, which happens when DirectX is broke.

If HW mode is off it'd be even worse.

You can fix the rainbow issue by downloading directx9 with the directx end user runtime web installer, it's caused by goon lights and the goon wiki had this solution.

[Exxion]

Yeah, we all know
@Allspice intentionally leaves it broken to powergame
